Ditto can transform into regular Terapagos just fine, and if you switch it in on the same turn the opponent Terastalizes, Ditto's Imposter ability will activate before the Tera happens, so you will still transform. It is worth noting that Ditto will not be able to Tera when transformed into a normal Terapagos-Terastal.
polar canyon
Damn even if it has tera stellar?
Hold on
When transformed into a normal terapagos-terastal

caly. prob a typo
in context tofu did run a max hp 2nd bump speed and rest on SpA investment on caly
while ur caly ran a max spA max speed
since if u wanna set up, u are more likely to take damage before getting it for free, unless they protect or u FO
but also, living one hit then hit back with draining kiss
while max spA max speed does more offensively but its hard for u to live one hit from physical then hit back
crimson flume
That's where I'm struggling atm. Sometimes CSR dies from just getting chipped.

I wanted to avoid speed ties, leverage bulk and get info anyways. I always outspeed Miraidon/Koraidon tier and underspeed other Caly-S which I don’t mind
Heal Pulse is a stronger heal and has value in front of Spread
mighty stump
You can’t wimp out with CM and have to tank hits with it
Against faster things you can always assume you get a +1 to leverage that bulk
Be very aware of your Draining Kiss calcs as well.
Your chip has to be smart between actually picking up KOs and getting your Draining Kiss heals from full HP opps
